NECKSCARF.`

SPECIFICATION Iorming part of Letters Patent No 375,967, dated January3, 1888.

' Application filed October 14, 1887. Serial No.5'2,35-i. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom/ it may concern:

Be it known that I, lMAX WALD, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neckscarfs, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The objectof my invention is to provide a made-up scarf which is readilyreversible without the necessity of ripping it apart and stitching ittogether again.

The invention comprises, in connection with a reversibleknot, aneckband, a band tooth,and a detachable liy, and a tab and a clasp forconnecting the detachable fly tothe knot, as hereinafter fully describedand distinctly claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure I is a rear view of a scarf embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is aface View of the illes of the scarf when det-ached. Fig. 3 is a faceview of 'the knot detached with a part of aneckband, and Fig.4 is adetail side view of the clasp for fastening the flies to the knot.

In the practice of my invention, a knot, A, finished on both faces, isformed, preferably, by covering a doubled piece, B, of fabric, having ausual inner stiffening body, with similar face pieces C G,'which may bestitched together along their side edges, D, the doubled end of thepiece B projecting above the face piece so as to form a wide loop, E.

Aneckband, G, is fastened at its inner end within the loop E, so that itmay be carried out through either side of the loop, and in applying thescarf to the neck its free end, which is stiiened, is inserted into theopposite side of the loop downward through the knot in the usual manner.

A tab, H, is fastened to the inner body of the knot A so as to projectslightly below the same for connecting the detachable flies I thereto.

The detachable flies I are formed in this case of a doubled strip offabric, and to the outside of one fiy I is attached a spring-clasp, J,by a short strap, K, so that the jaws of the clasp will project upwardand can engage the tab H, the doubled end of the fly-strip beinginserted in the knot from the bottom, in front of the tab H, to form thefinished scarf.

The clasp J has a downwardlyprojecting tooth,`L, on which the neckbandis caught in the usual way.

In reversing the scarf, the clasp J is disengaged from the tab H, andthe knot removed from the flies, reversed, and replaced on the illes,the latter facing as before, but now on the opposite side of the tab H.

lhereversal of theknot is easily and quickly accomplished and doublesthe life of the scarf, as the knot is the only exposed part liable to bequickly soiled.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In a scarf, the combination, with a reversible knot, A, a neckband, G, aband-tooth, L, and a detachable fly, I, of a tab, H, and clasp J, forconnecting the iiy to the knot, substantially as shown and described.
